Edit: Sorry. I did something very bad and neglected to search the forums before I posted this. I didn't think anyone else would ask a question like this.

From what I gathered from other posts, Mac SCSI hard drives are cross compatible. Thanks and sorry and stuff.

Greets. :)

I have two Macs with fairly good sized SCSI hard drives in them. I'm wondering if it's possible to use these hard drives in a Windows system.

I figured I'd ask before I butcher these machines and order a SCSI controller card.

I haven't played with SCSI too much - mainly just in school. And I've never opened up a Mac before.

LOL

It'd be swell if someone could educate me about this.

Thanks!

Yes you can, but they may need to be reformatted.
